[Q] New Email.apk (for froyo)? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a "fixed" email.apk for 2.2 that addresses the defect with message replies on the Captivate? I'd prefer not to downlevel to a previous release or other phone apk...
The new features are cleaner... but not being able to respond to email is a bit of a problem! Thanks to the community (and designgears) for their continued development!

If you use the search function you will see that most people have reverted to the stock 2.2 email.apk - it appears to work fine.

DG is attempting to fix the original 2.2 Email.apk in the Cog thread, it was post #6799 but a few people already reported that the issue is still there.

Thank you...
Guess I'll use the alternate solution for now... but the new apk is pretty nice...

Q&A section?

Check out this post. I was experiencing the same issue with beta. I posted the steps for another user, the steps taken to install a custom email.apk. Take a look and see if this will work for you.

[AUDIO FILES] Have a very OGG-y AudioResources.zip (EDITED 2:11pm)

IF I'M USING YOUR RESOURCES.ZIP, LET ME KNOW SO I CAN CREDIT YOU!
I didn't see anyone having done this before on a search, and I apologize if it's been done already. I put together all the audio resources I could find for ringtones, alarms, notifications, and ui, converted them all to very small .ogg's and put them in a new zip. It's a little over 9 megs and has a LOT of stuff. Enjoy.
Oh, and if you have more to add, post them. I'll convert them it and add it to the zip
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
1. Unzip
2. IF you are using a media2sd script, put the media folder on your ext partition. If not, use it to replace the one on your phone. I recommend using adb, or just mounting the thing in linux. It'll make it simpler.
3. REBOOT and give your phone some time to index all the ringtones. It'll take some time.
AudioResources.zip:
http://www.lighthousesolutions.info/AudioResources.zip
EDIT:
A LOT of people are downloading and nobody is posting additional links, which means (I hope) that I didn't miss any sound files. I'm glad I could help people out, and if anybody else has anything to contribute please POST! Thanks.
Also, I forgot to post this the first time. Themers and rom developers (hell anyone) feel free to use the converted .ogg's in whatever you want. They aren't mine to start with, but I figure I better make the statement clear.
Enjoy

Thanks! Can't have too many random ringtones to choose from I say. Already got the giant mega audio resource list from the other topic that includes all the various android phones, this will just help more.

I think this includes all of those, although if you find some that I'm missing, please post them. The main draw of this is that all of sound files are as tiny as possible, making it so you can fit them on internal memory if you want to, or just use less space. The entire thing is only 9.4 mb, and it includes the ringtones from the hero and magic.
Post any ringtones it doesn't contain so I can squish them down to tiny size too.
I can't find any media2sd scripts on the forum. Can any one point me in the right direction?

You don't have your rom in your sig, so my help will have to be very basic. I run cyanogen's experimental rom (not for the faint of heart) and huanyu's user customizable script. Other than that I can't offer much help. What I can say is that if you push the ENTIRE contents of this zip to your ext partition on your sd card and use huanyu's script with media2sd activated, you'll be fine.
Huanyu also has a version of his script for the stable series of cyanogens roms.
I have NO idea how to do media2sd on hero. I don't support hero as an os and will never use it unless the ENTIRE android community decides to go that route.
If you are using another rom let me know and I'll see what I can do.
I'm currently on Drizzy's newest hero build, but the guts are the same. I went back and did some research and that script is working thanks for the help.

No problem, and I'm glad they're working out for you. So far I've got over 100 downloads, so it seems people like this.
Anybody with any additional tones to be added? I'd really like to beef it up!
I'd love to give you some of miine but I don't have any that don't have a copyright next to it but if you want them anyway I'll upload them for you.
Thank you mate!

Are any of them for a released or soon to be released android phone? I could put together a "legal" and a "questionable" vesion, although the latter might have to be off the forum (hint hint). I'd like to keep the one on here being full of nothing but official android and htc ringtones for released and soon to be released (ie leaked) android devices.
Noob Question...
I'm running CyanogenMod-4.0.4 + Recovery 1.4 and the community hero rom and was wondering how I should go about implementing this audio resources zip. Do i apply the update from the recovery? Or is there some other way of getting them on?
You can push them to /system/media....but I'd recommend using hyanu's userinit.sh script instead. media2sd is FAR superior for the number of sound files were talking about here.
any chance of this being posted elsewhere? Was looking to download this, but the site doesn't seem to exist.
Can't use my host for any more hosting of FREE ringtones
awesome..! thanks
i may use it for DarkDream theme

thanks for posting this stuff! very nice
Sorry for being such a noob. But could I bother someone to give me steps on pushing this to my phone? (mytouch).

need some help with getting multitouch enabled

a simple question:
what is the easiest way to add multitouch to a rom?
i'm using a rooted cupcake 1.5 build
Just flash a Cyanogen ROM
Would love to, but it doesn't fully support my native language, and (correct me if i'm wrong) it has the volume patch applied, which produces in-call noise sometimes. And its the same with every rom i tried except this one
Just letting you know I am not being rude and I am actually trying to help you out. I want to let you know that you posted in the wrong section. You should be posting this in Dream Q&A (this section is for development). Before you post, you should do a search. You would then see that others have already asked this question. With that being said, if you want gallery MT, CM ROMs are the answer. If you want browser MT, just use the Dolphin Browser with any ROM you want (it's a better browser anyway). FYI This thread will probably be moved or closed soon and others will probably have a field day with it. Remember, the search button is your friend...

Download the stock audio files and apply them yourself to remove the volume hack.
not there yet
thanks guys, but unfortunately installing Dolphin doesn't solve the problem, cause the kernel itself doesn't seem to be have multitouch enabled. i'v tried dolphin, nada, no multitouch there.
which takes me back to point one, what is the easiest way to enable multitouch on a rooted cupcake (1.5) rom?
ps: @ meltus: are the stock audio files available as a standalone apk or zip file which can be flashed from recovery?

Sonofskywalker3 section now available in ROM Manager

Just wanted to let you guys no that you can now go into the downloads section of ROM manager and you'll see the Sonofskywalker3 section. Blackhole is not quite ready for release yet, so you won't see it there, but I have put up a large collection of live wallpapers, multitouch keyboards from camelot, boot/shutdown animations, and launchers that you can now flash easily straight from your phone. I haven't been able to test these since i don't have a vibrant, so i'm relying on you guys. Please post any problems you have wiht anything in ROM manager to the official error reporting thread at www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3 or right here in this thread and i'll try to keep on top of it. thanks for all your support guys.
Awesome! Checking it out now.

Dude, can you please send me instructions on how to get this added to rom manager.... I have tried koush with no luck.
Awesome you were able to!
Will this need a ROM Manager update, or is it all ready to go? (I'd look myself, but I'm flashing back from CM at the moment..)
Edit: Oh wow, is this nice. s15274n- It's under the download rom section. I know it mentions something about the premium version, click that.
to answer both questions at once: www.github.com hosts all koush's code for rom manager manifests. If you open an issue there with the code you want added one of his team will add it. once it's added you show up in rom manager instantly, no upgrade needed, because when you click donload rom in any version of rom manager it parses the code at github.com in manifests.js and looks for any vibrant = true tags, and if it finds it, it displays the info. I personally forked the manifest, edited it, and used a pull request to get it committed to the main manifest. if you want help getting yourself in rom manager, look for me in #sonofskywalker3 on irc tomorrow evening and i'll be glad to chat with you and walk you through it.
I love you...whomever the fark you are!
(Awaiting the final...mac fag sadly).
/final being tested....I hate ODIN

If it's that easy, why aren't the ROMS in there? That would save so much time and heartache.
None of the live wallpapers work for me...Axuras 2.1
Patience.....fauk, someone is going the proper route and you want to rush them.
CMR flashing FTW!
None of the live wallpapers work for me...Axuras 2.1
Give it time...an updatable rom via CWM is awesome yet time consuming....waiting patiently
Using a chihuahua to post up in this B
Hey lightninbug, do the wallpapers just not work? Did you flash them thru clockwork? Im at work and I dont want to do anything to soft brick my phone.
So you actually flash a wallpaper?? Sounds strange.... lol
yeah they dont soft brick.....just fc upon trying to open them.....yes flashed thru clockwork n rom manager...they installed to system/app..dont work tho
Thanks lightnin. I'm having trouble finding this stuff tho. My download section says it only has extras and free stuff. Not sure where to find these goodies at.

Op 1 week ago you posted a galaxy tab Rom that bricked phones. Soon after you just recently asked devs how to make a Rom. Now your going to post a Rom. No thanks noob that's one black hole I won't be goin down.

I'm afraid you have me confused with someone else. I have never released a ROM for galaxy tab, only one before this was the version for fascinate, and it's working great on my own phone as well as many others. Also I have never posted here asking how to make a ROM. I got started by reading tutorials online, getting help from other devs in IRC, and a lot of trial and error with my own phone before I ever released my first ROM. I don't mind criticizm, and welcome error reports, both are ways to improve the final product. However they are only helpful if they are true. If you can link me to the posts where I supposedly did these things I may better understand what you're talking about.
As far as the live wallpapers they are from the fascinate, I was hoping they would be installable without modification. Is anyone else having this issue with other roms? could you please get me a logcat during an fc so i can see what it's doing? also please try the digital rain wallpaper, it's from the market so we can use it as a kind of control group. thanks.
Sonofskywalker,
you will have to excuse the comments and tone of some in here. Recently this section has many unacceptable outbursts. I agree, issues must be raised in a constructive manner, rather than just being rude.
thanks for your work and I'll take a look.

Actually, the bootanimations are firmware independent, so they'll work fine, the keyboards have been tested on 2.1 on the fascinate and they worked, so give them a try, and the livewallpapers came from 2.1 on the fascinate, and don't work on at least 1 2.2 rom, so if you can try them out that'd be great. and all these updates do is add an apk file to your system partition, so there's no worry of bricking as long as you have a nandroid backup.
that being said, I need a few people to test the final alpha build before i release it as a public beta, just got it uploaded this morning. Please email me at [email protected] if you're interested, and i'll be glad to send you a link. please note you'll need to have a jk6 modem and kernel installed, but i'll be glad to send you links for those too.

Potential Security Issue - with EMAIL/EXCHANGE APK's for ICS ROMS

I have been using aosp's rom v13, within it there are the googleemail and googleexchange apk's
within rom v21 those have been replaced with email and exchange apks
i have ran CRC checksums on those two versions and they're both the email and exchange apks are different between them. The v21 file sizes are substantially bigger but nothing in the change log tells us why.
the gapps from koushes ics thread has different crc's for those apks than aosp's v13 or v21; they don't match either of aosp's included apks.
This could all be nothing but I think we need an answer here.
Can someone talk about what's going on here? Since these are GAPPS they are the most sensitive apps, I'm sure people will get mad for me making a thread about this but I'm honestly surprised no one has questioned this earlier. I trust the dev's, otherwise I wouldn't be here flashing their roms, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to question something like this openly either. I just want to understand why the email apk and exchange apk are so different from rom to rom within the same dev as well as why they're different from dev to dev when they share the same version.
Thanks
You have my support. I would like to know what the explanation is. I don't assume any I'll intent but it is a valid concern.
I looked at each apk content and there are some extra images in aosp version and the manifest file also but I don't think it was him putting it there. My best guess would be that he compiled it using different options.
If I'm not mistaken, email.apk is part of android os and therefore source is available. When compiling from source, not all files will come through the same.
I would still prefer that Jim stops by this thread and explain why his version is different. I'm sure he has a reason.
...and still no reply? Can anyone reach out?
I'd suggest going to the dev's thread, asking the question and linking to this thread.
Did that to no avail. I'm back to gingerbread.
Will someone get access to my emails, etc.? Some fill me up on this? Please.
You can set different levels of compression when making the APK files. Some devs remove stuff and others add, no two will be exactly the same.
Use apktool to decompile the packages and then beyond compare to compare to see the difference.
Most devs deodex the packages so they will be larger when compared to a Nexus dump from Google that has the odex files.
I have checked out most ICS ROMs in this forum and nothing fishy like that is going on. I always look at the ROMs before installing just to be safe.

Thank you! I don't know how to use apktools so I just want to be clear...you've looked at the apk for email and exchange for both the v13 and v19 vs what's included in the gapps from koush and you've determined that they're all actually the same?
For what it's worth, if the dev uses a different system key to sign everything, it will cause the checksums to be off. ODex vs DeODex (Optimized vs nonoptimized) can very easily double things in size. Nothing creepy about that.
In addition, Mail and Exchange are not part of GAPPs, they're part of system apps, meaning the source for them are released (as opposed to GAPPs). This means they go through the compilation steps just the same as the rest of ICS.

[SOLVED] ICS Email & Exchange APK

I've done countless hours trying to find a source for the ICS Official Email and Exchange APK's but to no joy. The current ROM I am testing has several FC problems and in the past (SDK port's) you could flash a new version and it would work..
Could a Dev help or any person with any knowledge of this problem / solution?
Thanks,
Thom
EDIT: Solved - Found on Koush's page
You could pull the .apk-files from one of the ICS Roms in the developer section. I had problems with the ones in kwiboo's v2, so i changed them with the ones i found in v1.
try the ones from the gapps zip in koush's thread. they work fine for me.
Thanks guys! :] All working now!
Tread carefully. I brought this potential security issue up over a week ago, sent a PM to a few dev's and no reply whatsoever.
I don't see why they're not responding.
